{% hint style="info" %}
This method is useful if you want to keep your instantiation available only on an specific scene which its also useful for Asset Bundles.
{% endhint %}

## 3. Prefab inside Resources Folder

If you choose to pick a prefab directly in the **Photon Instantiate** action your prefab must be inside a Resources Folder or added to the **Photon Database** (see option 1)\\
